This is the first child for Sherman and his girlfriend. No name has been officially confirmed yet, but reports say their son's name is Rayden.

Speaking to the National Football Post, Sherman recently shared his views on being a father: "Everything they do is dependent on you and how you provide and how successful you are. As a parent, you want to set a great example for them, so I guess, to a degree, a lot of things are riding on it."
